Having started studying classical piano at age 6, and starting trumpet at age 8, he has been playing music for almost his whole life. Ever since then, he has had many achievements in the world of music. He has had the privilege of playing in many well-known venues, such as Birdland Jazz Club, the Jazz Standard, Mount Fuji Jazz Festival 2009, the White House, Madison Square Garden, and Symphony Space.
He has had the opportunity to perform and work with critically acclaimed artists such as Stefon Harris, Curtis Fuller, Randy Weston, Arturo O'Farrill, Benny Golson, and James Moody. He received the Outstanding Soloist Award at the 1st Annual Charles Mingus Competition, and was commissioned to write a piece for Arturo O'Farrill's Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra in the fall of 2009.
He has studied with Jim Seeley, Michael Rodriguez, Bobby Shew, and Nathan Warner. Adam currently leads a band with his brother, Zack, called Alphabet Soup, featuring Adam O'Farrill (trumpet), Livio Almeida (tenor sax), Zaccai Curtis (piano), Michael Sacks (bass), and Zachary O'Farrill (drums). Adam O'Farrill was recently chosen to participate in the 2010 GRAMMY Jazz Ensemble as 2nd Trumpet. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
